The two presentments found by
the late grand jury have been made
public. One is against Il. M. Grant.
alleging embezzlement in that'he re.
tanned certain moneys paid him by a
client to be applied in payment of
certain delinquent taxes. Mr.Grant's
defense Is that the amount paid him
by the client was duly paid over TO
the treasurer, but as it lacked Il few
cents Of being sufficient to pay the
amount due, a tax receipt could not
be issued or the land released from
the delinquent list. The presentment
against Whittemore charges an un-
lawful act in that he did commit
fraud by raising a promissory note
from $50 to $40O. Without outlining
his defense Mr.. Whittemore says his
accusers will wonder
" hat they were began for,
SO quickly were they done for,
when the case comes on for trial, ii
it ever does.--Ortonvi,le Herald.

KILRAIN IN LONDON.
The American Slugger Well Re
ceived by English Sports.

By Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Oct. 6.-The intense inter
est in the coming prize fight be-
tween Smith and Kilrain, and especially
the extent of the curiosity to see the
American slugger, was shown tonight
when 5000 persons crowded themselves
into st. James hall to witness the spar
ring contest between Kilrain and Mitch
ell. Kilrain was cordially received by
the crowd when introduced by Tony
Moore, Mitchell's father-in-law, and ac-
knowledged his greeting by bowling
right and left. Moore exhibited the
belt for which Kilrain and Smith are to
fight, and while beSpeaking fair play for
the victor in the coming battle, asked his
hearers to show the same spirit toward
the American in the friendly Set-to
which they were assembled to see.
Jim Smith was present, and eagerly
scanned the Americans points as he
appeared in fighting costume in readi-
ness for the business of the evening. To
the surprise of the majority of the spec
tators, who had manifestly moderated
round and in the wind-up brought
Mitchell to his knees. The utmost
good humor prevailed throughout, and
the crowd was well pleased with the
exhibition of scientific sparring and ev-
ident ability to do hard hitting displayed
by the American pugilist, and it was
conceded Oh all sides that he had given
better entertainment and finer dis
play of science than Smith has yet
shown in his nightly set-tos at the
Aquarium. Nevertheless, the betting
tonight was two to one that Smith will
win, his enormous muscular strength
carrying the odds with it. After the
exhibition Kilrain's dressing room was
crowded with American and English re-
porters and large number of leading
sporting men. Kilrain's manly appear
ance and manners were complete sur
prise to all who met him tonight for
the first time, and have told very much
in his favor.
